M.B-glanza Posted June 9, 2014 Author Share Posted June 9, 2014 (edited) Well first things first after the winter was through (march) i gave the car a nice service. Thanks to opie oils for sorting me out. And also iddy and idworkz for the pads and plugs super fast delivary and top service from both guys so thanks so much.

M.B-glanza Posted June 9, 2014 Author Share Posted June 9, 2014 (edited) This wasnt an easy find but after a month of searching i managed to source (with help from iamlegend hutchy1990 and browner) an origonal livesports spoiler. It totally transformed the car in my opinion and its a nice finish to the kit. Edited June 9, 2014 by M.B-glanza Quote Link to post Share on other sites

M.B-glanza Posted June 9, 2014 Author Share Posted June 9, 2014 So that was the spoiler on i thought it looked nice but just to be sure i nipped the car to my buddy shaun who machine polished the whole car 2 weeks before japfest (3rd week in april) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gainzy Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 Seen this a few times in the flesh it's been well looked after I actually nearly bought it when it first arrived in the UK good choice of spoiler, suits it well! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
M.B-glanza Posted June 9, 2014 Author Share Posted June 9, 2014 So after the machine polish there was just a few odds and ends to sort with the car..the rust interior of the drivers fog light and the corroded intercooler..i used autosol and elbo grease on the cooler and just gave the fog a quick strip down and wipe out with a cloth and some quick detailing wax. and the finished artical.. came up really well in my opinion..I then added new discs and pads just to make sure the 5hr trip went smoothly as the discs werent in the best shape..

whitestar Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 Nice, really nice! What are the specs on these? I just ordered 205/50/15 advan AD08's for front. Gonna wrap them around 15x7 et35 rims and am a bit worried about how much they're going to rub. Do you still have your inner arches in? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
seab Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 Good shout on those wheels pal. Car is looking ACE!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Gonna wrap them around 15x7 et35 rims and am a bit worried about how much they're going to rub. Do you still have your inner arches in?Inner arch liners are still in bit they do rub very slightly.. ideally for track use the arch liners would be renoved to stop rubbing in highspeed corners.. Spec is et35 195/50/15 ypkohoma prada spec 2s all the way around.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
